Is Blogging Journalism

          Many journalists today believe that blogging is taking over  the news telling industery. But bloggers think that it's just another way of telling the news. They also think that journalists are just afraid of change. Bloggers see that what they do is nothing more than sending an email, sending a text or keeping a  facebook.
They see it as a tool to share information and tell stories with an opinion behind them.
          A blog is more than telling stories  and selling them in a newspaper.With a blog, people can tell their side of a story and not get in too much trouble. They can also just talk about their own life which someone who buys the newspaper far away, don't really care about. Blogs are more personal and unprofitable unlike a journalist who writes for a paper. They have to tell all sides of a story without seeming sterotypical.
         Although blogging isn't journalism, jounalists can use a blog to tell their story or get their point across. Readers can get stories from one person in one place. This will let them either agree or disagree with the authour. Also, the readers are allowed to talk with the journalist and they can disguss important topics realativly fast.
          So as long as people can accept change in the way things are spread, get used to them and be able to use them regularly and usefully, the world of journalism and blogging can coexist.  Even though blogging is not journalism, it still has changed it. Blogging is a medium with routines of the old ways of journalism mixed with new and improved techniques.
